Members sheepdog Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 (I assume the stories I heard are true) Pete walks to midfield and waits there so he has a chance to shake the other coach's hand and give him a hug. Matt and Reggie walk over to the UTX lockerroom to congratulate them on their victory. I admit that I cheered against USC (I hate any team that they start using the word "dynasty" for), but that is true class. In an era where atheletes seem to get more and more self centered, THAT is class. Unfortunately on the other hand you have Vince Young, running around after the game yelling "Who's the Heisman Winner now?" and striking the pose. NOT classy.

Members bassplayer7770 Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 Young is a strong competitor, but I haven't heard any such stories. I heard (with my own ears on TV) Bush saying things like "We ain't done yet". They're not all innocent, but, overall, I think both teams played with great respect for the opposing team. I saw them helping each other up all night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played one helluva game last night!!! If he digs himself any deeper, then it will just be that much sweeter when Ohio State beats them next year...

Members sheepdog Posted January 5, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 definately a hell of a game. One for the ages. I'm not sure if I would stick around. He wants the Heisman, but that usually means a horrible NFL career if you win the Heisman. I would go in now if I were him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emprov Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 I dunno man, in Leinart's interview right after the game he said something like, "We're still the better team, they just made the plays in the end." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Emprov Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 Originally posted by bassplayer7770 Did you actually hear that? Isn't making plays what football is all about? Yep. It was in response to the question, "How does it feel to go out this way?". And ya, better teams make plays. Funny thing is, last year he would have been the first pick in the draft. Now, if Young comes out, Matt won't even be the first QB taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 1tallbassguy Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 Congratulations to both teams for a well fought battle. I was going for The Longhorns all the way, but I did place a small wager on USC, because I really thought they were a better team. Last night was the Vince Young show. He should declare himself eligible for the NFL, because he will never be any more valuable than now. The Texans should pick Young and not Bush. I've been saying all along that Carr is the problem with the Texans. As far as classy moves go, Young loves himself a bit too much. Mack Brown mentioned the class of the USC players coming and congratulating the team after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying all along that Carr is the problem with the Texans. Carr spends all of his time on his back, the Texans need an O-line, not a new QB. Give him a good O-line and he'll be a much better QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right. He was very impressive. He runs extremely well, but he also throws accurately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother lives in Fresno and watched Carr for a few years while he was in college, (Fresno is one of those towns where college sports are religion). One of the things that my bro said that defined Carr was his on field leadership abilities, it'll be interesting to see if any of that comes out with the new regime.

I watched the game, and the remarks made by Leinart and Carroll were not as gracious as this. Vince Young also did not appear to be a jerk from what I saw. And I was pulling for USC because a friend of mine in Texas hates the Longhorns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sheepdog Posted January 5, 2006 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 oh well, for about 5 minutes there I thought that there were some classy atheletes out there. Oh well, back to my opinion that they are all pretty much assholes at one time or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Banta Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 There are plenty of classy athletes, and some of the guys who made poor remarks may be, too. It's easier to be classy after you get over the initial sting of defeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrJoshua Posted January 5, 2006 Members Share Posted January 5, 2006 Give Leinart a break. He just had to deal with a huge game AND the finals for his ballroom dancing class. He's under a lot of stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I don't know if anyone else caught it, but the chick that interviewed him right after the game called him Vince at the end of the interview...now thats funny! I don't feel bad, he is heading into a multi million dollar career and I also hear he's bangin' Alyssa Milano:eek: Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
